of_o himself_o in_o the_o act_n of_o his_o mercy_n but_o man_n must_v look_v whole_o upon_o god_n and_o no_o way_n upon_o himself_o if_o he_o intend_v to_o be_v save_v and_o enjoy_v mercy_n case_n four_o of_o imperfection_n and_o littleness_n of_o faith_n and_o other_o grace_n such_o as_o be_v man_n of_o grace_n in_o truth_n will_v be_v man_n of_o grace_n in_o perfection_n no_o present_a

of_o grace_n beat_v slow_o within_o their_o faith_n and_o patience_n unactive_a and_o in_o a_o manner_n idle_a within_o they_o this_o i_o say_v give_v they_o occasion_n to_o question_v their_o

their_o grace_n as_o other_o do_v o_o the_o eye_n of_o their_o faith_n be_v dim_a and_o do_v but_o dark_o apprehend_v the_o promise_n of_o god_n they_o do_v many_o time_n discern_v the_o promise_n with_o mistake_n fullness_n and_o settledness_n of_o apprehension_n be_v want_v in_o they_o they_o can_v come_v off_o their_o carnal_a reason_n and_o self_n disputation_n yield_v firmness_n and_o

his_o promise_n they_o can_v cast_v anchor_n so_o as_o it_o shall_v fasten_v they_o see_v the_o shore_n but_o can_v reach_v it_o and_o they_o see_v christ_n and_o the_o promise_n but_o can_v apply_v they_o there_o be_v a_o interruption_n and_o suspension_n of_o the_o act_n of_o application_n as_o for_o the_o persuasion_n of_o faith_n in_o they_o they_o be_v small_a or_o none_o at_o all_o they_o

that_o christian_n have_v not_o so_o much_o cause_n of_o create_v grace_n ten_o releevement_n to_o the_o soul_n under_o imperfection_n of_o grace_n perplexity_n to_o themselves_o as_o many_o time_n they_o do_v consider_v with_o i_o 1._o that_o a_o little_a grace_n be_v better_a than_o no_o grace_n it_o be_v the_o want_n of_o grace_n that_o be_v damnable_a and_o may_v cause_v a_o man_n to_o close_v up_o against_o himself_o all_o assurance_n and_o settlement_n tell_v i_o o_o christian_n will_v thou_o change_v thy_o poor_a condition_n in_o grace_n for_o the_o great_a graceless_a condition_n in_o the_o world_n will_v thou_o part_v from_o that_o grace_n thou_o have_v for_o any_o or_o all_o the_o seem_a pleasure_n of_o sin_n i_o dare_v say_v thou_o will_v not_o then_o be_v quiet_v in_o thy_o mind_n and_o do_v not_o foolish_o argue_v the_o nullity_n of_o a_o gracious_a condition_n from_o the_o imperfection_n of_o thy_o grace_n 2._o that_o a_o little_a grace_n require_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o thanks_n it_o come_v from_o the_o god_n of_o all_o grace_n and_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o sound_a sanctification_n shall_v i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o way_n of_o thankfulness_n to_o make_v little_a of_o any_o divine_a mercy_n we_o be_v too_o little_a for_o the_o least_o measure_n by_o reason_n of_o our_o unworthiness_n and_o we_o do_v not_o well_o to_o undervalue_v the_o least_o proportion_n and_o gift_n of_o grace_n 3._o that_o which_o one_o man_n make_v little_a unto_o himself_o will_v be_v a_o great_a deal_n with_o many_o other_o christian_n we_o find_v in_o experience_n that_o the_o rich_a man_n complaint_n will_v be_v the_o poor_a man_n content_n many_o poor_a soul_n can_v well_o feast_v themselves_o with_o the_o fragment_n that_o come_v from_o their_o table_n when_o as_o they_o do_v foolish_o and_o proud_o complain_v of_o want_n just_o so_o it_o be_v with_o many_o christian_n they_o tell_v we_o that_o grace_n be_v weak_a and_o small_a in_o they_o when_o other_o christian_n reason_v with_o they_o and_o hear_v they_o complain_v do_v bless_v god_n for_o their_o estate_n in_o grace_n and_o will_v be_v exceed_o glad_a be_v they_o in_o their_o condition_n of_o grace_n 4._o that_o man_n of_o no_o grace_n be_v never_o trouble_v and_o true_o humble_v about_o smallnesse_n and_o weakness_n of_o grace_n the_o eye_n of_o such_o be_v not_o yet_o open_v to_o see_v their_o spiritual_a want_n 5._o that_o little_a grace_n be_v a_o argument_n of_o grace_n in_o the_o soul_n a_o little_a man_n be_v a_o man_n and_o a_o little_a faith_n be_v faith_n grace_n in_o truth_n have_v a_o be_v in_o weakness_n itself_o and_o though_o it_o be_v in_o the_o low_a measure_n there_o the_o soul_n have_v a_o interest_n in_o god_n in_o christ_n in_o the_o promise_n and_o in_o heaven_n little_a faith_n can_v and_o do_v lay_v hold_n of_o great_a thing_n and_o prove_v unto_o christian_n a_o great_a assurance_n 6._o little_a grace_n be_v a_o creature_n of_o god_n which_o he_o will_v not_o despise_v or_o forsake_v do_v god_n despise_v 10._o zach_n 4._o 10._o the_o day_n of_o small_a thing_n will_v any_o tender_a mother_n cast_v off_o her_o babe_n because_o it_o be_v weak_a and_o shall_v we_o imagine_v that_o god_n will_v not_o accept_v according_a to_o that_o a_o man_n have_v be_v it_o never_o so_o little_a christian_n be_v persuade_v that_o grace_n in_o truth_n though_o never_o so_o small_a be_v for_o acceptance_n 7._o little_a grace_n will_v do_v much_o it_o many_o time_n do_v that_o in_o and_o for_o christian_n under_o weakness_n that_o all_o the_o world_n can_v do_v for_o they_o it_o be_v their_o light_n in_o darkness_n their_o life_n in_o death_n and_o their_o upholdment_n from_o sink_v the_o widow_n little_a oil_n and_o little_a meal_n go_v a_o great_a way_n god_n blessing_n it_o and_o thus_o it_o be_v with_o little_a grace_n it_o will_v carry_v a_o man_n through_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o do_v mighty_a thing_n for_o he_o the_o great_a advantage_n of_o a_o little_a grace_n be_v unspeakable_a 8._o that_o grace_n in_o weakness_n be_v make_v for_o strength_n and_o grace_n in_o littleness_n be_v fit_v for_o increase_n our_o grace_n pass_v from_o imperfection_n to_o perfection_n and_o from_o weakness_n unto_o strength_n god_n strength_n be_v make_v perfect_a 9_o 2_o cor._n 12._o 9_o in_o
